Unfortunately, Overwatch 1 will not be playable once Overwatch 2 releases. In an interview with Eurogamer, Overwatch’s Commercial Lead and Vice President, Jon Spector, confirmed that the last day to play Overwatch 1 will be Oct. 2. Its servers will shut down in preparation for Overwatch 2–however, for those playing Overwatch 1 on PC, an option to update to the new game will be available before this happens. While the heroes of the original game will return, Overwatch 2 will completely replace it.
